FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) INFORMATION

This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception.

This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in particular installations.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).

•Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.

•Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/ television technician for additional suggestions.

Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

RV-9978, RV-9968 specifications

The RCA RV-9978 and RV-9968 are both notable models in the realm of vintage television receivers, showcasing the technological advancements of their era. Designed and manufactured by RCA, these models reflect the company's commitment to quality and innovation in television technology during the 1970s and 1980s.

The RCA RV-9978, known for its striking aesthetics and robust design, is a color television that attracted a lot of attention due to its high-quality picture and sound. One of its main features is the 25-inch screen, which offered a vibrant display that drew viewers into the experience of their favorite shows and movies. The RV-9978 incorporates advanced color fidelity technology, providing enhanced color reproduction that was ahead of its time. Furthermore, the model features a built-in tuner capable of receiving both UHF and VHF signals, allowing users to enjoy a wide array of channels.

The design includes easily accessible controls for channel selection and volume adjustment, enhancing user experience and functionality.

On the other hand, the RCA RV-9968 is often celebrated for its compact design and portability. This model is geared towards users seeking flexibility, as it combines a smaller screen size, typically 19 inches, with lightweight construction. The RV-9968 maintains excellence in picture quality and sound output, ensuring viewers do not sacrifice performance for convenience. Like the RV-9978, it also supports both UHF and VHF signals.

Additional characteristics of the RV-9968 include a front-loading cassette, enabling users to play videos directly from tapes, a sought-after feature at the time. Its simplicity in navigation and user-friendly interface appeals to a broad audience, making it a popular choice for families and casual viewers alike.

Both models epitomize RCA's technological prowess during their period, with features reflecting a blend of practicality, innovation, and attention to quality. Collectively, the RV-9978 and RV-9968 stand as testaments to RCA’s influence on television technology, influencing future designs and setting standards that would be echoed in modern devices.
